Graphic Design

Bell Imaging & Design is a photography and design business located in Hermon, Maine. Owner Debra Bell (that's me!) has a strong background in graphic design and has worked in newspapers and publishing since 1998.

First, I worked at the University of Maine's Printing Services department preparing customer print jobs to print in large and small scales. I also was a reporter (1998-2001), assistant editor (1999), and copy editor (2000-2001) for the University of Maine's student newspaper The Maine Campus. I interned as a reporter and photographer at The Time's Record newspaper in the summer of 1999 and as a reporter photographer and section editor/designer for the Harpswell Anchor (summer of 2000). Now, I also work for the Bangor Daily News in the special sections department as a writer, photographer, and special section editor/paginator.

My extensive experience in the newspaper and printing worlds entail taking a project from conception to final production. I use my award-winning skills to create printed jobs that delight and represent each individual client.

I also provide design services to Maine Greyhound Placement Service in Augusta (I write for, photograph, and edit their quarterly newsletter and I am the editor and designer of the yearly calendar fundraiser.) In addition, I provide design services to Tuesday Forum, a women's networking group.

In my role as owner of Bell Imaging & Design, I use my skills to help businesses and individuals alike. Some of the services I offer include:

Invitation package design (invitation, reply card, programs, and envelope design)

  • Branding items (letterhead, business cards, envelopes, note cards, logos)
  • Newsletters
  • Postcards
  • Calendars and press-printed items
  • Signs and promotional items
  • Booklet and book designs
  • Proofreading and editing
  • Content writing
  • Packages including writing, editing, design, and photography

Because each project is unique, I prefer to create custom quotes for each client. Don't assume that hiring a professional designer is too expensive. Let me show you how I can help you without breaking the bank.
